  I love Chanel in general, but sometimes the collections can be geared towards the rich memaws  of the world, which can be frustrating for the young crowd. I think the key to make Chanel not matronly is to mix it up with punky things, like safety pins and funky …

I’ve written about Dora Abodi in the past, so you already know I like there collections, in general. This time was no different- the turquoise and gold used throughout was really pretty and and is one of my favorite color combinations. Reminds me of a Russian palace or a peacock. Or that …

I love love love Olympia Le Tan‘s latest collection of handbags. I’m a big fan of whimsical designs especially in handbags and shoes. I think my fave out of the bunch are the ‘caviar’ bags. I don’t like caviar because my taste in food is very midwestern farmer, but I do like …

As you may know, I friggin’ love BOWS! Lace, satin, velvet, vinyl, leather- if it’s in the shape of a bow, I love it. Anywho, Antwerp designer Niels Peeraer‘s spring 2013 collection is sprinkled with nude-colored leather bows on structured handbags, headpieces, necklaces and  rings- really beautiful stuff. You just have …

The Baby Holster is not really on the market, but imagine if it were. I can’t see how the baby is comfortable with a full view of man groin. Seriously, if I were a baby, I’d cry my lungs out if I was strapped up like that. I do love the Baby …

No, Griffin Leather is not Peter Griffin’s basement lair of Fifty Shades of Grey paraphernalia (sorry for that imagery)….. It’s a shop on Etsy that sells this leather plague mask and human head skull handbag. Honestly, that mask is all kinds of freaky that makes me want to run and hide under …

Louis Vuitton and artist Vincent Bousserez joined forces for a brilliant series called   ‘Larger Than Life’. Tiny figures use the luxurious leather landscapes as their playground making for a wonderful scene. I love creative advertising like this! So, the artist does amazing work- check out his site, especially is art photos named ‘Plastic …

The Triangle of Bears is an etsy store full of unusual leather and felt trinkets. Some of it is cool and some of it is down right strange, which I like. Take the teeth pouch. Really, the gold tooth is the best part. But, I bet you could carry your retainer …

The Supreme Beings fashion show at San Francisco’s SOMArts center showed the latest collection by IIMUAHII. Their designs are really intricate and and lots of pattern pieces to make one awesome jacket or dress. Check out their ‘process’ link on their site to see how much work goes into a piece. I …
